The Path Integral Monte Carlo Sign Problem Is Not Always NP-Hard: Harmonic Fermions Can Be Solved in Quadratic Time

Aarif Chaudhary, Jonas Valenzuela, Siu A. Chin

In the Path Integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) simulation of fermions in a harmonic trap, with and without pairwise harmonic interactions, the partition functions for any discrete number…

Parafermions in plain sight

Siu A. Chin, A. Chaudhary

We show that for any potential with a discrete energy spectrum, the well-known interpolation between ideal boson and fermion partition functions at discrete values of yiel…

Simple proof that there is no sign problem in Path Integral Monte Carlo simulations of fermions in one dimension

Siu A. Chin

It is widely known that there is no sign problem in Path Integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) simulations of fermions in one dimension. Yet, as far as the author is aware, there is no direc…

A thousand fermions in a 3D harmonic trap via Monte Carlo simulations

Siu A. Chin

By use of a special wave function derived from similarly transformed propagators, this work shows that the energy of a thousand spin-balanced fermions in a three-dimensional harmon…
